Kokkos Kernels - Overview

[crtrott]

Authors: @kokkos/kokkoskernels Presenter: @lucbv

Abstract: KokkosKernels provides math kernels for dense and sparse linear algebra as well as graph computations. It has multiple aims:

• Provide a portable Kokkos bases interface to BLAS, Sparse and Graph kernels for all major HPC platforms.
• Provide generic implementations of Kernels working with various scalar types and data layouts, going beyond standard types supported by vendor libraries.
• Provide access to major vendor optimized math libraries.
• Provide improved performance for kernels where vendor libraries were historically lacking.

An overview of the library capabilities as well as the latest developments will be presented in this talk.
